Building With Us

Because of our build location we weren’t able to use a crane to install pre built trusses. Each beam was hauled up and the truss was assembled on top of the roof frame. Then they were raised and mounted. Horizontal beams were placed on top of the trusses and finally, small 1x’s were attached before putting roof paper on. We are grateful for people who thrive 20ft off the ground while balancing on a 2ft ladder! Being that roofing was new to us both, we allowed creative license to our dear neighbor on constructing this wonder-full roof for us. Many alterations and adaptations have been made along the way, and plans are still morphing! But here she is, “a roof you can land a plane or drive a train on.” A hat big enough to protect our family and our earthen walls.
